I too met him at his shop in 2002, and spent a fortune on some really cool clothes! I asked him if he'd pose for a picture w/ me, just like the famous one w/ Elvis when he was standing in front of Elvis and adjusting El's shirt for him, and he did so w no hesitation! I like to think Elvis n I are the ONLY 2 w that shot! (ya, right! lol) Get well Bernard!!

Bernard is a genuinely nice man & one heck of a salesman! We always like to have a little joke about the different English & American pronunciation of our first name! Get well soon Bernard!! Bernard (Roughton!)

I hope he has a speedy recovery. I always remember, every interview with him iv ever seen he has always mentioned how Elvis called him Mr Lansky before he told Elvis "mr lanksys my father, im Bernard" So perhaps this news should be titled bernard Lanksy ill.
